NEW: 13 ex-Palantir employees condemn work with the Trump administration as violating Palantir's code of conduct, including using products to collect data on immigrant children.

"These injustices could be facilitated by the very software infrastructure we help build."

At least the Tesla libs thought they were fixing climate change, what on Earth did palantir employees think that shit was gonna be used for?

I think Cybertruck is key there. He was already very publicly an asshole by the time that was available. It's not like they bought a model 3 in 2019.

Yeah the fact that it’s a cybertruck is on its own enough to demonstrate they didn’t buy it at least until it was possible to buy a cybertruck, which is, what? Couple years? We all knew by then.

Spying on Bad Guys, as named by whoever hired them out (who of course were all above reproach).

I can't believe they're using the Infant Pulverizer, which I innocently designed to pulverize infant poverty, for evil purposes

when my evil spying company named after the evil spying orb continues doing evil spying

stochasticooze.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm confused about how these guys were working for Palantir and DIDN'T expect their work to be used for evil

dingokayfabe.bsky.social•5 days ago

No seriously they had no idea they signed up for this. Also we should take everything they say seriously

"We knew we were building a "Death Star" we just didn't know they were actually gonna use it."

Why are you alienating potential allies for the anti-trump resistance? We need Palantir on our side.

bkbk05.bsky.social•6 days ago

The spy company started by Peter Thiel named after the spying orb used by the evil fantasy wizards? That place was up to no good?

Fell for it so hard it was measurable on seismographs thousands of miles away

Is this the onion? I've literally never read anything about palantir that doesn't make them sound ludicrously evil.

still wild to me that they unironically named their company after a spy-orb possessed by evil incarnate.
